Free MLB Picks for Monday May 16, 2022

Nationals vs. Marlins, 6:40PM ET

The Nats possess one of the worst run defenses in the nation and that was on show throughout their weekend series against Houston where they gave up 20 runs over the course of 3 games. We're expecting yet another slugfest with Aaron Sanchez (2-2, 7.58 ERA) taking to the mound for Washington. The signs are ominous.

BET: Total runs OVER 7 (-120)

Astros vs. Red Sox, 7:10PM ET

Houston got things back on track on Sunday, recovering from a streak-breaking loss on Saturday to start a new one with an 8-0 thumping of the Nats. It's not often you get a team in hot form at plus money, but that's what they are as they head to Boston to take on the Red Sox. The starting pitcher's duel feels kinda even with Garrett Whitlock (1-1, 2.19 ERA) starting for the Sox, up against Jake Odorizzi (3-2, 3.38 ERA) for the Astros. Houston have enough defense and firepower to get over the line.

BET: Astros moneyline (+102)

Angels vs. Rangers, 8:05PM ET

This is a great moneyline value spot for the Angels who are in some good form and coming up against a Texas team that are not really threatening. The LA 1-2-3 punch of Ward, Trout and Ohtani is really starting to warm up, in the top 5 for run offense, not to mention the top 5 for run defense too. Keep rolling, Halos!

BET: Angels moneyline (-135)
